Freakin’ TOPIC: With NASCAR hitting IMS this weekend, which one has the bigger cajones, the Indy 500 or the Brickyard 400?

Hollywood, CA (July 25, 2007) – There may be some additional security needed this week in the Lucas Oil Studios.  Lugg Nuttz, Crash Gladys, Statt Mann and Kenny Sargent, a.f.k.a. SpeedFreaks, get into another heated discussion Thursday in the Toyo Tires pits… Indy 500 vs. Brickyard 400.  That’s sure to stir the natives, er, native herself, Indy girl Crash Gladys. 

But fortunately, there’s just enough cool down to feature Dale Jr.’s own artwork where YOU could take home a one of a kind drawing from Dale Junior himself.  You may remember, Dale busted it out first in the Freak Nation that he was headed to art school back in the day only to be lured back to racing to try and pay some bills.  Guess which one paid off?

Now his art passion will help pay off in another way.  “Look, the Dale Earnhardt artwork is a must for the big time Junior fans in the Freak Nation,” says Kenny Sargent.  “At the Bristol race earlier this year as part of his Sharpie partnership announcement, Crash and Lugg asked him to whip something up fast and we would auction it off to raise funds for America’s Baby Cancer Foundation.  Dale’s been a staple in the Freak Nation for the last seven years and this is just another way to give back.”

To get bidding on this one of a kind drawing by Dale Jr., go now to the SpeedFreaks Fundraiser Store on eBay.

The Freaks keep it cranking with some raucous Q&A from the Toyo Tires Pits and some of the biggest names in Championship Off Road Racing.  How about the 7 time Motocross/Supercross Champ Ricky Johnson?  Or even 3 time Off Road Champ Rob MacCachren, talkin' smack with his team owner/driver Steve Barlow?  Just a bit of fun with the Red Bull brothas.

Plus, Crash Gladys gets her hands in on some home cooking with Chef Nicky of the JEGS NHRA Pro Stock championship team.  See what the Chef serves up specifically to help Jeg Coughlin Jr.’s reaction times at the Christmas tree.

This Thursday, you know what to do.  Just get inside the freakin’ ride… sit shotgun with the Freaks!
